About the book

Starting a business is exciting, but it comes with many questions: Where do I start? How do I choose the right investor? What are my duties as the CEO? And, most importantly: What can I do today so I don’t go under tomorrow? Rudrajeet Desai, co-founder and CEO of Ideacts Innovations, which runs the largest shared access internet application in the world, iCafe manager, gets right to the heart of these and other business concerns any start-up and entrepreneur would have. He offers tips on how to assess the entrepreneur inside you, make the perfect pitch to an investor, how to build a business plan, how to maximize productivity by delegating tasks, and how to build teams and create a ‘happy people company’. Written for the new and veteran entrepreneur, Breaking Out and Making Big will help you make that transition from passion to success.
